The purpose of this paper is describing the history of public health, including pertinent dates and significant events and the different aspects of public and community-based health. Public Health is on a national, state, and county scale dealing in research, data analysis, and recommendation for health promotion. The Center for disease control, the national institutes of health, and census are examples of public health. Community health uses the research done by public health and implements it based on the population’s needs, political direction, or private funding (J. Koot, n.d....). Examples of community-based health care are the local health department at the present time giving H1N1 flu vaccination free of charge to all citizens in Pinellas country. Pharmacies and home health agency collaborate to give the vaccinations and a fair price. These community-based healthcare systems are giving the vaccinations based on research by the CDC and NIH.

Children’s Service created in 1912 and changed to an advocate of children’s interests, child labor laws, for example.
